Consider the function G(x) = -2x^3 - 15x^2 + 36x. First, factor it:

G(x) = -2x^3 - 15x^2 + 36x=-x(2x^2+15x-36)=\\ \\=-x\cdot 2\cdot \left(x-\dfrac{-15-\sqrt{513}}{4}\right)\cdot \left(x-\dfrac{-15+\sqrt{513}}{4}\right).

The x-intercepts are at points \left(\dfrac{-15-\sqrt{513} }{4},0\right),\ (0,0),\ \left(\dfrac{-15+\sqrt{513} }{4},0\right).

1. From the attached graph you can see that

  • function is positive for x\in \left(-\infrty, \dfrac{-15-\sqrt{513} }{4}\right)\cup \left(0,\dfrac{-15+\sqrt{513} }{4}\right);
  • function is negative for x\in \left(\dfrac{-15-\sqrt{513} }{4},0\right)\cup \left(\dfrac{-15+\sqrt{513} }{4},\infty\right).

2. Since

G(-x) = -2(-x)^3 - 15(-x)^2 + 36(-x)=2x^3-15x^2-36x\neq G(x)\ \text{and }\neq -G(x) the function is neither even nor odd.

3. The domain is x\in (-\infty,\infty), the range is y\in (-\infty,\infty).

a) G(x) factors as x(-2x^2 -15x+36) so has a zero at x=0 and at values of x revealed by the quadratic formula:

For ax²+bx+c=0, the solutions are

... x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

Here, we have a=-2, b=-15, c=36, so

... x = (15±√(225+288))/(-4) = -3.75±√32.0625

... x ≈ {-9.412, 1.912}

The function is positive for x in (-∞, -9.412) ∪ (0, 1.912).

The function is negative for x in (-9.412, 0) ∪ (1.912, ∞).

b) The function contains both even-degree and odd-degree terms, so has no even or odd symmetry. (A cubic always has odd symmetry about its point of inflection, but that point is not x=0 for this function.)

c) The domain and range of any odd-degree polynomial are <em>all real numbers</em>.

Which statement best describes f(x)= -2 √x-7 +1 –6 is in the domain of f(x) but not in the range of f(x). –6 is not in the domai
Archy [21]

Answer:

B. -6 does not belong to the domain but belongs to the range of f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function, f(x)=-2\sqrt{x-7}+1.

So, the domain of the function is obtained when x-7\geq 0 i.e. x\geq 7

That is, the domain is {x | x≥ 7}.

Now as we have,

x\geq 7 → x-7\geq 0 → \sqrt{x-7} \geq 0 → -2\sqrt{x-7} \leq 0 → -2\sqrt{x-7}+1 \leq 1.

That is, f(x)\leq 1

Thus, the range of the function f(x) is {y | y≤ 1}.

Thus, we can see that,

-6 does not belong to the domain but belongs to the range of f(x).

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

11 + 16n

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect the like terms

2 + 9 = 11
10n + 6n = 16n

11 + 16n is the final answer, and cannot be simplified further
